Senator Frye, i'll conversation with a
Boston Journal correspondent, expressed
the utmost dissatisfaction with Mr. Bay
ards fish commission, which he SAYS is
no commission at all, though so consid-
cred by the English government. 1t has
no power to settle anything. The Amer
lean members can obtain Mr.. Chamber
lain'S views and that is all. Secretary
Bayard has discovered that the president
has no authority to appoint commission
ers to negotiators, and apparently de-
signs using them to originate negotiations
for a new treaty, which the senate will
be pretty sure to reject. The whole
course of Secretary Bayard in the matter
has been in English interests and without
regard to the wishes of American fisher
men. President Cleveland is entirely
ignorant on the subject and naturally
falls in with the secretary's suggestions.
Imagine Mr.. Blaine president, says
Mr.. Frye. He would ct once have
awaited himself of the power granted by
congress to retaliate for outrages and the
Outrages would have ceased at once

extent of territory involved as well as in
duration. Kansas, especially southwest
Kansas, has not suffered. probably to any
alarming extent. at least 50 far as stock

Mr.. Henry George now falls back upon
his main expedient for the abolition OF
poverty. This consists Of printing and
selling for five cents copy of a newspa-
per that is not worth one cent. Il have
always declared" says Mr. George in his
newspaper, that [ cared little for how
men voted, and much for how they
thought" The speeches that have been
made" he adds, the literature that
has been disseminated, the discus
sion that has been provoked during the
campaign could only slightly, as we well
knew at the time, affect the vote at the
the election: but the effect of it all will
steadily and increasingly tell. Let Us
push on the good work. This was more
than Brother Dana, of the Sun. who is
something of an anti-poverty champion
himself, could endure, and with Charac-
teristic sarcasm he says that 1.-The serenity
with which Mr.. George resumes the good
work OF selling for five cents newspa-
per that is not worth one cent proves
that he speaks the truth. He has cared
little for how men yoted and much fol
how they bought.

An ENCOURAGING SIGN.

At the banquet given by the New York
Chamber of Commerce last week the
reference Of Secretary Lamar In his
speech to the tariff question wherein he
took occasion to remark that lit is prob
able that one Of the causes of the de-
pressed state of our navigation interests
will be found TO be, what every intelli-
gent merchant believes, that artificial
and legislative restraints are as ruinouS
to commerce as they have ever proved to
be fatal to human thought and human
freedom was taken to indicate,
coming from so high an official in the
administration and in the councils Of the
party that he represents, that that
party the Democratic) propose to make
the tariff the leading issue in the pending
presidential campaign. Mr.. Channcy u.
Depew was the next speaker following
Nh Lamar and he was quick to take up
the gauntlet. In reply to the point in
Mr. Lamar's speech quoted AIr. Depew
said:
hope that the Democratic party will
make that the first plank of their platform
in the coming presidential election, and |
promise him that the party to which |
belong will state its position in equally
emphatic terms, and then | hope and I
have no doubt he hopes, that we shall have
one presidential contest fought out in this
country, where mud and dirt and SANDER
and personal detraction and the personality
of the candidates shall disappear, and
what principle is to govern the prosperity
OF the American people shall be decided di-
rectly by the American people themselves
The occasion, while not a political one
per Sc, was given large Significance by
these utterances and if they can be taken
as induces Of the purposes Of the two
great parties the country may hope to
experience a gratifying departure from
the plan Of campaigning in vogue in this
country for the past decade.

into the unsuspecting city and supplied

enlightenment which cyniCs say is worse
than none. Meanwhile, NJ Fourc.rde's
pockets swelled in exact proportion 10
